Description
Western Asiatic/Aegan, ca. 1200-700 BC.A bronze spearhead with a triangular-shaped blade, complemented by a prominent midrib. The midrib, extending prominently from the center of the blade, contributes to the overall strength and resilience of the weapon. Below the midrib, a well-defined shaft commands attention, guiding the eye towards a long and gradually tapering tang. This carefully designed tang facilitates the spearhead's secure attachment to a pole or shaft, ensuring ease of handling and stability during use. Cf. Muscarella, O. W. (1988).
